A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

with her skis. how far does she travel on this patch before stopping?

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, \mu m g. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
ma=-\mu m g
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2
where v_f=0 is the final speed of the skier and v_i=4.75 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N
artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now  

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by:
Marina86 [1]

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.
